Rule of Life - Fr Ripperger

We need a regula to get through the day. Prayer, spiritual reading, mental prayer, when to get up, when to go to bed, etc. How do we do this? What about spiritual direction?

I love all of your talks, insights and benefit greatly from them even after 37 years of priestly life. I ask God to abundantly bless you in your apostolates. Thank you.

This priest has been such a beacon for my Catholicism. I thank you for your vocation. We sure do need holy priests.

[savingsarah]

As a new Catholic I really like your videos. It's like going to Catholic class 🤗🙏❤

Fr Rippegers' video on our Lady of Sorrows saved acquaintances' marriage. Fr Rippeger should be the pope.

Priceless Priest! A True gem in this wicked world of ours.... Tell it like it is Father, God bless you ❤ TradCat

Every time I watch one of his videos, it’s another list of sins I have to take to confession. It’s getting harder 😅 but totally worth it, especially for the sake of my young children. Thank you Fr Ripperger 🙏🏼

Father Ripperger, you are definitely one of my most favorite Priests. May our Lord and Blessed Virgin Mary bless you and keep you safe.

I listen to Father Ripperger😮 at night when I go to bed.

I am having interesting experiences this year, every time I ask God a question, he replies through Fr. Ripperger and other spiritual leaders within one day or within couple days. And I started praying once a day, now twice a day. Being consistent in praying is very important, as well understanding importance of the prayer.

[catholicmama]

This is gold. As a mom with young children right now I found this incredibly helpful, I’ve been trying to figure out what my daily life should look like and this talk has some wonderful advice.

[paularivera]

This should be instituted in seminaries as to how to form Catholic families. Never heard a talk like this and I raised 4sons and have 8 grandchildren. I put them in parochial school and hoped for the best. So much more was needed.

[Kivlor]

Fr Ripperger's videos are always excellent. Not one ive listened to was unworthy of not only the time to listen, but of serious reflection

[sstritmatter]

This is a tall order for most Catholics today. I'm just being real. Many are not even close to being this formed. If you are, that's great - but if you are not don't despair. It takes time and effort to get to this. Think of it like this - MOST people don't go to the gym and lift 300 lbs/130 kg. or run 3 miles. You work UP to this. Just work out each day - but one of the most useful things here was a structured life and put prayer into that life. Everyday. Try to say the Rosary and you can start just by doing a decade one hour and another a later hour until it is completed. Do a cursory examine of conscience before bed at the end of the day. Keep a note of it - this helps for confession too. BTW go to confession monthly, too. Pray in front of Blessed Sacrament once a week in addition to Mass. But wherever you are start somewhere and work at it - be patient with yourself but truly trying to have a relationship with God.

I wish and pray Fr Ripperger to be a saint one day !

[immaculateheart]

This teaching is priceless. I have a daily prayer life but also spend a lot of time on spiritual learning such that I end up staying up late and then waking up late. During the week I have to work so I cant focus on spiritual learning and prayer until after work, which is why I end up staying up late.

A priest told me that this pattern can be a way for the enemy to get us to sin.

So glad that the next life we will get to spend all of our time with the Lord and not on our mundane work and activities.

[learningtoflyify]

Everything about this lecture is a big YES! Thank you, Father!

[carolseven]

Fr thank you for your generosity of time. There are so many of us yearning for a spiritual director. Your teaching is priceless. I pray that our Lord will bless you abundantly and give you every good gift.

I was much healthier in every way before I got laid off. Now, I'm working for a temp agency with mostly 0 hour jobs. I can be called literally at any time, for any shift, part of shift, double shift at any one of a dozen or more locations. My only rules right now are no junk food, Rosary at least once in every 24 hours, sleep comes over food.
